“Apostle, could Saintess Snow really have deciphered the black core?”
Facing the apostle, a minion was kneeling on the floor and appeared very worried.
“Don’t worry, she’s still missing one step, we still have time.”
“But we can’t just sit back and not do anything right? Darkness is dead, White Night was caught, and she’s ruined our plans time and time, we have to teach her a lesson!”
The underling was panicking when he mentioned Snow, even though he was talking about how to deal with her, his uncertain tone betrayed his inner fears.
It wasn’t just him, a lot of other people were also frightened by the Snow witch, they never would have expected the third apostle’s perfect plan to be ruined by that brat!
But when the third apostle heard what his underling said, not only was he not understanding, he was furious and cried out, “Bastard! Who said that she ruined my plans? Hmph, how could my perfect plan be ruined by a little girl… are you looking down on me?”
“No, no, apostle, how could I be looking down on you! I was just…”
“Just what? It seems to me you’re all scared shitless by her! Don’t forget, even if that brat deciphers the black core, she still can’t complete the cure!”
The third apostle appeared extremely confident! That’s right, his plan was still perfect!
“Uh… apostle, I still think that we can’t underestimate her!”
“Hmph, I know, I don’t need you to tell me that!” The third apostle shook his head and didn’t bother taking out his anger on this nobody and calmly asked, “So do you have any good suggestions?”
“My suggestion is to kill her!”
“… That is an idea, but it’s too difficult.”
The third apostle also wanted to get rid of Snow, but he missed the opportunities… When Snow was in the plague zone, her guard was down, but he underestimated her and sent White night who failed and became her captive.
Then Snow became extremely well guarded by the crucifix guards and it even felt like she had eyes on her in the darkness which made the third apostle feel as if he were being watched by some mysterious ninja, so he didn’t dare do anything rash.
“Snow finally let her guard down yesterday and I had the chance to finish her off! But I ended up being interrupted by her useless brother… damn brat, how unlucky!”
“You mean, Lin Xiao?”
“Who else? That damned brat, I’ll be sure to find an opportunity to finish him off! … Wait, I have an idea!” While the third apostle ground his teeth thinking about that kid, he stopped and suddenly thought of something!
As the saying goes, you have to pick the weak to bully…
Since they cant finish off Snow, then they had to go from it at a different angle and finish off someone close to her!
Snow seems to hold her useless brother in high esteem, so if he could finish off Lin Xiao, it would be a huge blow to her!
Not only that, but killing Lin Xiao had another purpose… to delay her experiments!
The third apostle knew that Snow asked her brother to find the last ingredient she needed, so if he killed Lin Xiao, he could delay her progress. That way his plan could continue and even if Snow uncovers the secret, she would be too late.
“Why didn’t I think of this sooner?” The third apostle slapped his thighs regrettably.
“So apostle, are you preparing to get rid of Lin Xiao? Okay, I’ll go and do that immediately!”
“Wait… you don’t need to get involved, I’ll do it!”
“What? You’re going to personally do it?”
“We’ve already failed twice, so we can’t fail anymore, so I’ll personally do it… you stay in the city and keep an eye on Snow!”
“Yes apostle! Leave it to me! … But, what about White Night?”
“Oh, him… don’t worry, I’ve made arrangements.”
“Are we going to rescue him?”
“No, that’s too open. If we want to realize our plans, then sacrifice is unavoidable, that is his fate… but you have to believe when the new world arrives, he will return in another form!”
“Yes, apostle! We’ll follow you forever!”
“Liberate the enlightened and illuminate the world!”
The two disappeared into the darkness as if they were never there. The only difference was that the lives of two people were about to change… one was the captive Bob and the other was the ‘unlucky brother’ Lin Xiao.
No, rather, there was someone else’s life who also changed greatly and that person was the third apostle. He who was high above tried to crush Lin Xiao like a soft grape to warn Snow, but he didn’t know how hard that grape actually was.
…
…
“Phew… I wonder if my stinking brother has left yet?”
Snow breathed the fresh air as she was led out of the research lab by her maid.
She had no idea when Lin Xiao would be back. Although her brother was lazy beyond saving, once he decided to do something, he was extremely reliable, so she believed that he would be back very soon.
“But waiting for him is so boring, Elona, why don’t we go visit Bob!”
Bob, or White Night has already been held captive for a while. He was being treated and seems to have recently regained his consciousness, which meant that Snow could continue her interrogations!
Outside of experimenting, Snow has been visiting Bob for the past couple of days and was resolved to pry his mouth open! The good news was that he was already speaking by himself, even if it was just some superficial information, but it was enough for Snow to verify her judgments.
This plague wasn’t simply to poison the people, but there was something deeper going on!
But the bad news was that after he honestly confessed everything he could talk about, his mouth clamped tight when it came to any secret information.
Snow felt like he already resigned himself and knew that his time was short, so he wasn’t afraid of any intimidation.
Does he know that he’s going to be silenced?
Snow already anticipated it so she arranged a large number of people to guard him just in case… yet, before Elona could lead her out of the church a panicked believer suddenly ran up to her!
“Saintess, bad news! Bob… Bob died!”
“What?”
Snow was stunned and never expected Bob to still be silenced. After asking she found out that Bob was poisoned and not killed directly.
Poison?
Strangely, Snow anticipated that as well, so she got trusted aides to be in charge of his meals, so nothing should have happened.
“Could it have been an inside job? … Hey, before the incident, did Saint Nick ever go visit Bob?”
“No, Saint Nick has never visited Bob recently.”
“Tsk, not him, then who was it?”
Snow fell into thought, she had thought that things were coming to the end, but she realized that the trouble was just beginning!
Silencing Bob, if she were the third apostle, then her next target might be…
“Brother, y-you have to stay safe!”
